The combustion of an organic compound is mostly written as,
CaHbOc + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
where a, b, and c are supposed to be the subscripts of the elements C, H, and O in the compound. Determining the number of moles of C and H in the product which is the same as that in the compound,
(Carbon, C) : (561 mg) x (12/44) = 153 mg x (1 mmole/12 mg) = 12.75
(Hydrogen, H) : (306 mg) x (2/18) = 34 mg x (1 mmole/1 mg) = 34
Calculating for amount of O in the sample,
(oxygen, O) = 255 - 153 mg - 34 mg = 68 mg x (1mmole/16 mg) = 4.25
The empirical formula is therefore,
C(51/4)H34O17/4
C3H8O1
The molar mass of the empirical formula is 60. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is,
C9H24O3
Like dissolves like
so water is polar
CCl4 is nonpolar
LiCl is polar
CH4 is nonpolar
PCl6 is nonpolar
so LiCl would dissolve
Answer:
The energy harnessed in nuclei is released in nuclear reactions. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei and fusion is the combining of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus. The consequence of fission or fusion is the absorption or release of energy.
